The Peace Corps plays a vital role in promoting global peace and understanding by sending American volunteers to provide assistance in communities around the world. Continued robust funding is essential to sustain and strengthen this important program. With the deadline rapidly approaching, I urge you to immediately sign the letter being circulated by Senator Cory Booker calling for an increase in Peace Corps funding to $479 million for the next fiscal year. This level of funding recommended by the Senate Appropriations Committee recognizes the immense value the Peace Corps provides in allowing Americans to serve as grassroots ambassadors while also supporting local development efforts. Investing in the Peace Corps is an investment in building lasting ties between nations and fostering mutual cooperation to address shared challenges. Please add your support by signing this crucial funding letter before the Wednesday deadline. The Peace Corps' mission of world peace and friendship through service abroad deserves your backing.
